It all depends on how long it is temporary. Current predictions are 2-3 months, which I think it is already too much time for most restaurants.

Germany's Robert Koch Institute just spoke of "up to two years" today...

That “up to two years” applies to how long it would take for 60–70% of people to get the virus if you are aiming for a “herd immunity” scenario. It doesn’t claim that the present lockdown will last two years.
Oh, the first version of the text read differently, there is a correction at the bottom.

As always, new restaurants will take the place of shuttered ones. It won't be easy, but "eating out" as a practice will not disappear!

NYT opinion piece talks in terms of 3 or 4 "waves" of social distancing spread over 1-2 years.
